Mary our Mother

Mary is not a sovereign but a servant. She is not the end but the way. She is not a demigod but The Poor One of God. She is not all powerful but an intercessor.

Our Mother Mary is that consolation and peace we need for that moment. She changes bitterness to sweetness, and combat to compassion. She is kind and courteous. She suffers with those who suffer, and she waits with those who wait, while she will journey with those who journey. The Mother is patience and security.

She is our joy, happiness and solitude. The Mother is an immense personified sweetness and an invincible fortress. She is above all, the Mother who continues giving birth to Jesus in us.
